Hi all, We've identified the following repos as being the repos we want to donate to Apache:
community-ruby (2376 files) community-soa (11770 files files) community-uml (6365 files) community-visualweb (6339 files) community-xml (2326 files) html4j (280 files) jackpot30 (964 files) (main)contrib (main)misc (5076 files) plsql-support (2341 files) releases (100548 files) releases-l10n (33348 files) However, we can't contribute something we haven't reviewed. We can only give to Apache what is ours to give. We can't make licensing decisions for someone else's code. E.g., we can't donate Oracle logos, for example. And there are several other logos too. We can't donate all kinds of things if they're not actually ours to donate. Starting from the smallest repo, i.e., 'html4j', the repos are being reviewed. That particular repo took less than a day to review, yes, someone is going through the repo paintakingly looking at files for licensing concerns and anything else that could be odd for whatever reason. And then the concerns discovered need to be discussed and handled. Yes, this is taking time -- still, once done we'll know for sure that things are good and ready. We're doing something right now that I had thought we'd be doing throughout incubation in the Apache Git repo. Instead of that, we're doing it before getting it into the Apache Git repo. This is something that Oracle wants and must do, itself, i.e., no one else, outside Oracle, should be involved in this since it is Oracle that is donating the code and not anyone else. Hard to give a time estimate for the above, though I imagine some weeks at least are involved. We're moving along and there is progress and the end is clear. In the end this will have been a good process for its thoroughness and for having avoided situations with unknown unknowns, since everything will ultimately come to light as this investigation continues.
